From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanton Magnetics, founded in 1946, is a manufacturer of professional and consumer audio equipment. Most of its products are aimed at DJs. It is a wholly owned subsidiary company of the privately owned Stanton Group who also own Cerwin Vega, Pickering, and KRK Systems.

The company has long been renowned for its line of magnetic cartridges and styli for phonograph turntables; the Stanton 500 series is the most popular and enduring line of Stanton cartridges.

The company also produces a range of turntables for DJs. Some direct-drive models include features such as high torque motor (up to 4.5 kgf·cm), reversible platter rotation direction, line level outputs and audio signal processing.

Stanton, together with Native Instruments, developed Final Scratch, a software for manipulation of digital audio files using a turntable and a special vinyl record.
